Subtract 13 from both sides

-5x = -17 - 13

Simplify -17 - 13 to -30

-5x = -30

Divide both sides by -5

x = -30/-5

Two negatives make a positive

x = 30/5

Simplify 30/5 to 6

<u>x = 6</u>

<u><em>Answer: x=6 and 6=x *The answer should be have positive sign.*</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

subtraction property of equality is subtracting the same number from both sides of an equation does not change the equation.

a-c=b-c

subtract by 13 both sides of an equation.

-5x+13-13=-17-13

simplify by equation.

-5x=-30

then divide by -5 both sides of an equation.

-5x-5=-30/-5

simplify by equation.

30/5=6

30/6=5

6*5=30

5*6=30

It change negative to positive.

x=6

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

Two consecutive integers have sum of 137
Mazyrski [523]
You would do x+ (x+1)=137
2x+1=137
Subtract 1 from each side
2x=136
x=68.
Add 1 to 68, since they are consecutive integers.
The answer is 68 and 69
